/in News /by Petra1947 All -Ireland Remembered: Just a memory, local man Kevin Carolan wants everyone to know it’s the 75th year anniversary from Cavan won that great All-Ireland final of 1947 in the Polo Grounds in New York, this week, Kevin recalls all those great Cavan footballers in Bailieborough on the day Phil “the Gunner” Brady’s funeral went through the town. They all came back to former Cavan star, Donal Kelly’s House, where tea and sandwiches were served, great memories. So it’s 70 years from when Cavan last won the All-Ireland in 1952. Kevin’s mother in law Peggy, recalls the ’47 All-Ireland so well, that she often names the Cavan panel of that era, to his two girls all of which creates more great memories.
